SEYMOUR LAYTON.  The business of farming has engaged the attention of Seymour Layton since he was a boy.  In early years he managed the farm in the interests of his mother and his sisters and for the past twelve years has been one of the progressive agriculturists of Union Township.       He was born on a farm in Fayette County, Ohio, Nov. 14, 1864.  His father Tilton Layton came from Fayette County to Ross County, and bought a farm in the North Precinct of Union Township.  He followed farming there until his death in 1880.  The widowed mother, who still occupies the old homestead, is a daughter of John and Rebecca Tootle, and her maiden name was Eleanor Maria Tootle.  She reared five children named Seymour, Ida, Flora, Rebecca and Lucretia.      As the only son of the family, the responsibilities of the homestead largely devolved upon the shoulders of Seymour Layton when his father died.  HE was at that time sixteen years of age, and such education as he acquired had been gained in the meantime by attendance at the local schools.  HE proved himself an able worker and did much to keep the family household together until his sisters were grown.  He remained on the home farm until 1904, when he bought the place he now owns and occupies in North Union Township.  It is a fertile and well improved farm, and he and his family reside in an attractive house situated on a knoll commanding extensive view of the surrounding country.      In the year that he started out independently, 1904, Mr. Layton married Bessie Wilson.  Mrs. Layton was born in Ross County, a daughter of Alex Wilson.  To their marriage have been born two children, Marjorie and Thelma.
